What hitting view do you use online in RS?
-
I have used Strikezone since the beginning of time, it feels like. However, I cannot hit the ball this year. I have dabbled with SZ 2 and SZ high, both having better results than just straight SZ. I play on a 65 inch tv in gaming mode with excellent MS response time. I am usually around a .290-.315 hitter, but this year I am hovering lower than that as I have approached the higher ranks. I have never been a big time hitter, but I am really struggling this year; frustratingly so.

Try strike zone offset. I’ll flip between strike zone and offset when I feel I’m struggling reading pitches. I’m sure it’s just a mental thing, but that slight change gets me focused again.
Also, try turning off pci for a bit and just focus on the pitch. You’d be surprised at how naturally your thumbs move with the pitch when the pci isn’t in the way.

I feel I hit better this year than others. But yea i've been a SZ user since I can remember as well.

I haven't tried this in years (turn off pci)...good idea

Also, try focusing on pitchers hat during release. When I’m struggling I realize I’m drifting my eyes down and looking at belt and then I’m late because I’ve missed a third of the ball path.

I have played this game for a long time & never tried this...I need to do this for proxy. I started off RS very strong (outside of SDS screwing up my record) and have lost 4 of 5. Trying to get back on track. Hitting is killing me...

Hope it helps, not everyone has the same approach, just offered some things I do when I’m strgguling (aside from the obligatory slump buster method that my wife would not be happy about).

I started 17-1 & I believe that I may be running into people that simply are better than me at the game. These tips will help with my frustration, though.

Never heard of this and it gave me a good laugh. Thanks

The good ole slump buster.
When I have issues I play against the cpu on legend. After that balls look like slow motion in ranked.

Strike zone is the only reason so many people can catch up to unrealistic put he’s to hit. It shouldn’t be available on RS BR or events. I use zoom since it’s the best view to appreciate the games graphics. Even though it’s harder, why wouldn’t I want a challenge to appreciate my success more. Idk maybe I’m old school but the harder it is to accomplish the more I appreciate the outcome.

Strike zone 2
-
fish eye2, I use to be strike zone only but for some reason this year I can not hit that way - maybe because I am 45 but I still hit pretty well with fish eye and find its very easy to determine balls and strikes. I hit around 400 in online play.

Fish eye, fish eye 2, catcher high, wide. Those strike zone cameras shouldn’t even be allowed.

That's a good idea. Im trying zone out for the first time and I'm always swinging at junk because I'm to worried about the pci. When I use analog I hardly ever swing outside the zone. Im gonna give this a try

Simple, it’s takes up the entire screen which makes it easier not to get fooled by pitches. Why do you think people use it? It’s not because it looks good, it’s because it gives them an edge.
